Learn to Live Sustainably

We encourage everyone to learn the art of gardening. Not only is it a
rich and rewarding life-skill which rewards both physically and spiritually, it
is also a valuable tool for survival, if one is ever faced with the need
to feed themselves. In addition to being an agricultural producer in
Southern Arizona, Avalon Organic Gardens & EcoVillage is also an educational
center. We want to feed the world, but we know we can't do it
alone. Avalon Gardens offers several ways to learn the skills and
techniques that we practice here everyday. Learn more about
workshops and internships below or visit our Earth Harmony Sustainability
Seminars page. Certificates of Completion are given for seminars, internships, and workshops.
